The actors portrayed how teenagers interact pretty well. It was awkward at most times and there was a definite tension between the two. They seemed like they could be together so they sold me on the plot and the outcome.

A refreshing coming of age movie for teens. While some parents may have issues with the so called sex scene in the movie, it was not explicit. Like old time movies, it left things to your imagination. As a matter of fact, in today's world of using sex to sell everything, I thought that it was tastefully done.
I enjoyed their second thoughts after the fact. It showed that they were mature enough to admit that they had a lot to learn and perhaps the should not have rushed into it.
Perhaps if your kids don't learn about sex at home, they'll pick it up on the street.
Would that be better????

This is a good movie. Not just good, but really good. I just can't believe that they would do some inappropriate things in this movie, but i still loved this movie. Even though I got to watch it when school isn't out yet for the summer, I still got to watch this movie. I borrowed it last week and I got to finish it in a week. I loved this movie and I can't believe that David likes her. They look so good together. Really, I mean it, they look very good together. I loved the way they danced. It reminds me of how my friend David and I danced together at a high school dance. I and my other friend david from north dance but his friends made him dance with me i was like what me i thought it was weard that we danced together .and we said to each other we are never dancing together and we never did . evan thought it was a weard movie i still loved this movie so much. There's a little bit of swearing, but still a good movie to watch sometimes, though not everytime.

Good teen dramedy. A bit on the "too much sexuality to watch with my teenager" side, but I think it was good for the genre. Doesn't make teenagers seem mindless. Well written and interesting characters. Very realistic and emotionally charged plotline. Not the best acting, but it meshed well.

It's like someone recycled the John Hughes handbook from the 1980s and remade it into a bad movie. Do yourself a favor and borrow one of those instead.

Good romantic comedy. The two lead actors really made a believable couple. Both are excellent actors. Overall, I would definitely recommend it. There were two plot developments that just didn't seem plausible to me though and it kind of detracted from the overall movie for me. (***My following comments might contain spoilers, so don't read any further if you haven't seen the movie yet.***) 1) Aubrey is too smart and perceptive to have ever even gone out with Ronney, let alone been dating him, and definitely not planning to lose her virginity to him. 2) Dave and Aubrey had WAY too much physical chemistry when they were shown making-out to have had such a disastrous experience when they had sex for the first time. A couple that into each other physically just doesn't have catastrophically bad sex like what was portrayed in the movie, unless Dave were so excited that he was "premature" and that wasn't implied to have happened. Mediocre sex the first time out, I could buy, but this just seemed ridiculous.
